It's week 18 at the Focus On Lifeblog challenge and this weeks topic is abstract. This week we were encouraged to step outside reality. I rarely edit my photos let alone play with effects. So I decided to open on photoshop and play. The above photo was a raw bead photo that I played with, layered, tweaked and adjusted. Trying to work towards something very abstract. What do you think?
You really make it appear really easy with your presentation however I in finding this matter to be really something which I think I'd by no means understand. It kind of feels too complex and extremely wide for me. I am having a look forward in your subsequent submit, I will attempt to get the cling of it!
Totally abstract. I would have never guessed that was a bead. The colors and shape of what you created definitely evoke a feeling. . .and that's what abstract is supposed to do right?
I have been creating tiny works of art in glass since 2003, in my home studio in Victoria BC Canada. Working mainly in soft glass I love the colors and reactions they provide. I draw a lot of my inspiration from the Canadian wilderness and the lovely gardens in my area. Victoria is known as the “Garden City”. My personal love for animals and wildlife provide me with a constant source for artistic vision. My other passion is horses we own, breed and train! Between the two passions I am always busy! I am happy to do color requests if you have an idea you are dying to see transfer into glass, but can’t promise it’ll be exactly as your mind had it envisioned! Glass sometimes has a mind of it’s own.
I am a member of the ISGB and Pacific Pyros. I am a self representing artist which means all the beads you see are handmade, one by one, by me! They all go directly from the torch to the kiln, making for consistent crack free beads.

I had never really utilized any of the effects in photoshop elements either and I think you did far better than I did.
I love the colors in this one!! Very cool!
You nailed it!
You sure got Photshop to work for you. It looks like a watercolor in progress. Great job!
Good job showing abstract.

Pretty cool- I'm not seeing the bead at all!
I never ever would have guessed it was a bead. It looks to me like an ariel view of fire and smoke!!
Thanks everyone, I just played with it. Kept hitting different settings and features. It was fun!
